The Form of Love

Poetry's Quarrel with Philosophy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Form of Love explores what poetry can articulate about love that philosophy cannot. Reading seven poems, this book shows how figures ranging from Donne to Dickinson use poetic form to transform philosophy's concern to convey truth about love into the concern to create a virtual experience of love.
